You could always ask in #freenode to see if you have been banned.

To the best of my knowledge, this isn't text that is produced by
Django. I can't even think what might be generating this text. Without
knowing the cause, there isn't much we can do to help.

If you were banned you'd be getting a message in your IRC client
saying something like "you're banned" or "you cannot join #django"
(and so far as I can tell you aren't). The message you're receiving,
however, is more indicative of trying to send a message to the channel
without actually being in the channel at the time; no-one is allowed
to do that, because it's too often abused by spambots.

how to determine field type in a form field?

[Tom von Schwerdtner]

When looping through form fields in a template, is there any way to
tell what type of field/widget I'm dealing with in the template?  I
have found input_type, but that is only used on subclasses of Input
and not Widget (eg, not textarea or checkbox).

TIA

Yes. Oracle does not distinguish between null and an empty string. So
null=False applied at the database level would mean that you also could not
store the empty string in that field, which would be quite different from
what you would see running the same code on most other databases, where the
empty string is a valid value for a NOT NULL character field.

The behavior is documented, see the note here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#null. The note is
perhaps not as clear as it could be about when the empty string is allowed
for a field. That's a property of the field type (for example, empty strings
are allowed for CharField but not a DateField), and is not in any way tied
to the value of the field's blank option. The blank option, as noted in its
description, is used for validation and is not applied at the database
level.

Banned from the #django irc channel

[Matías Iturburu]

Hi guys, Sorry to bring such an off topic, but I've notice that I'm banned
on the django irc channel (at least I'm receaving #django :Cannot send to
channel any time I want to talk there, my nick name is *tutuca*).
I don't think I've ever been disrespectful or, in any other way, rude in the
channel, so I would like to know why I've been banned, or if there is any
way I can know the reason of this.
The irc is a great way of having a quick feedback about roadblocks so I'm
very annoyed of this (at least from my part) un understable situation.

Hope somebody can give me a pointer.
Thanks in advance

charField null=false not enforced for table creation in oracle

[Wayne]

Hi,
I try to create tables using Django models in our test oracle
database. I define a model with one column like this: name =
models.CharField(max_length=512, null=False, blank=False). After
running python manage.py syncdb, I found that column 'name' in the
generated table still allows null value in the column definition. I
understand that null = false is the default option. And I verified
that for other types of Django fields, null = false or no such option
at all would generate columns that do not allow null values in the
database. Is there particular reason why null = false is not enforced
for charField?
My Django version is 1.1.1, Python version is 2.6, and oracle server
is 10g release 2.

Many thanks for your help.

Handling input of external urls

[russianbandit]

This is a fairly general question, but what is the best way to handle
and verify user entry of external urls? For example, if the user types
in "google.com", django will try to render "http://localhost:8000/
users/google.com". That is obviously not what I want. I know that if
the user types in "http://google.com; the request will be forwarded
correctly to Google. Thus my question is, what is the right/best way
to handle user input of external urls?

using ForeignKeyRawIdWidget

[pablo platt]

Hi,

I want to extend ForeignKeyRawIdWidget so I want to be able to use it
without setting raw_id_fields.

With the following I don't get an error but I see no effect:

# models.py
class Product(models.Model):
...

class GroupProduct(Product):
...
products = models.ManyToManyField(Product,
related_name="%(class)s_related")

# forms.py
class GroupProductAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = GroupProduct
widgets = {
'products':
ForeignKeyRawIdWidget(GroupProduct._meta.get_field('products').rel),
}

This gives me an error: *init*() takes at least 2 non-keyword arguments (1
given)
class GroupProductAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = GroupProduct
products =
forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(widget=ForeignKeyRawIdWidget(GroupProduct._meta.get_field('products').rel))

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

fixtures getting created with terminal message prefixed

[Joel Stransky]

start of the data.

Please select your server identifier.
   1) admin
   2) aws
   3) dipsy
   4) dot
   5) local
   6) sdeng
   7) soup
   8) tomcatdev
   9) www
What server identifier would you like to use? []

So if I run:
manage.py dumpdata > path/to/my/fixtures/myFixture.json

I have to open the file and delete that text before I can run:
manage.py loaddata myFixture.

Anything I can do to prevent that text from getting saved into my fixture?

Thanks.

Re: test_cookie_worked() fails although cookie is set

[Timothy Kinney]

Okay, the problem was that the cookie was from my admin login (which I had
not logged out of). When I deleted this cookie, the cookie test seemed to
work. It does seem odd that I can't have two cookies for two different users
on the same browser. Is there a way to change this? Maybe by incorporating
the user id into the session id? My cookie was just called
myproject_myapp_sessionid.

Re: Storing Template Vars in Database and rendering

[Timothy Kinney]

Also, take a look at the template Tag feature.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-template-tags/#howto-custom-template-tags(scroll
down about half way).

It allows you to define a template (such as a dialog object) and call it
from another template, thereby inserting it where you want it. I think this
is the way to go for a django text adventure.

I'm also working on Django browser games and I'm glad to see others working
in this realm. Let me know when you need a beta tester and I'll be happy to
help.

Re: what's the right way to extend an admin view with AJAX?

[snfctech]

Thanks for the encouragement, Timothy.  I haven't given up, but I'm
scratching my head, and puzzled by why I have to look at people's blog
posts to figure out how to use javascript/AJAX with Django.  It may be
that I disagree with Django's philosophy that the framework should not
be coupled with JS.

Re: what's the right way to extend an admin view with AJAX?

[Timothy Kinney]

Django was definitely designed to be extended. But it is sometimes hard to
find the write ways to extend what you specifically want. Don't give up on
extending admin. Hopefully someone will point you in the write direction.

buildout and fixtures

[}--o]

Hi,

we are switching to buildout for django development, but have several
problems for the moment, mainly related to test running.

Previously we've had a django project in all our applications' directory to
easily run ./manage.py test myapp from inside Eclipse.
now using djangorecipe we can run $ bin/test-1.1, but this is not integrated
into eclipse, which makes its use rather unconvenient.
How should we set up buildout in order to Eclipse recognise the lines of
output?

A related question is about fixtures. How can we load fixtures of an egg?
Here is one of our buildouts:

[buildout]
parts = python django-1.1 omelette
develop = .
eggs =
django-contacts
django-l10n
django-registration
django-uni-form
django-sugar
eggs-directory = /home/nagyv/.buildout/eggs
find-links =
${buildout:eggs-directory}
http://pypi.python.org/simple/
download-cache = /home/nagyv/.buildout/dlcache

extensions = mr.developer
sources = sources
auto-checkout =
uni-form
sugar

[omelette]
recipe = collective.recipe.omelette
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}

[python]
recipe = zc.recipe.egg
interpreter = python
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}

[django-1.1]
recipe = djangorecipe
version = 1.1.1
project = contacts
projectegg = contacts
settings = testsettings
test = contacts
testrunner = test-1.1
eggs = ${buildout:eggs}

[sources]
uni-form = git git://github.com/nagyv/django-uni-form.git
sugar = git git://github.com/nagyv/django-sugar.git

As a bonus question, I would like to ask as well how to set
${buildout:eggs-directory} and ${buildout:download-directory} for something
like $HOME/.buidout/ I was Googleing after this but without much
success.

thanks for your greatly appreciated help

Enjoy your day!
Viktor

The latter, without the leading underscore. This is really a python 
question -  A leading underscore '_' is a standard python naming 
convention for "consider this private":


http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/

The privacy is not rigidly enforced like some languages, however things 
like "import *" do respect it by default.



But would like to know why _session_key returns None for first
time .



Probably because it's lazily maintained - accessing session_key
will call _get_session_key (it's property wrapped), which
will wind up setting the private _session_key - if it's not already set.

Please don't respond to spam conversations. It's due to a bug in the Groups
infrastructure that they get through in the first place. They are deleted
from the archives as soon as they are noticed, but nothing can be done about
the fact that they get sent as email to subscribers who read the groups that
way. Please just ignore them.

A search project beginneth

[Nick]

I am working on a search form for a project. I think I have down how
django handles forms (on a simple level). I am using an thml form
written in a template and passing it through a view.  I tried to write
this out as a form in a form.py file but something screwball was
happening with the file and I gave it up for the time being.

Here is my Model:


Type = models.CharField(max_length=100, choices=Type_Choices,
blank=True)
Last_Name = models.CharField('Last Name', max_length=100,
blank=True)
First_Name = models.CharField('First Name', max_length=100,
blank=True)
Position = models.CharField('Position', help_text="Only used for
non-council City and Local officials", max_length=100, blank=True,
choices=Position_Choices)
Party = models.CharField(max_length=3, choices=Party_Choices,
blank=True)
District = models.IntegerField(help_text="For State, Federal and
County Commissioners", blank=True, null=True)
Ward = models.IntegerField(help_text="For City Councils",
blank=True, null=True)
City = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
Phone = models.CharField(max_length=15, help_text="Use the form
xxx-xxx-", blank=True)
Email = models.EmailField(max_length=100, blank=True)
Contact_URL = models.URLField(max_length=200, blank=True)
DOB = models.DateField('Date of Birth',blank=True, null=True)
Gender = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=2,
choices=Gender_Choices)
Begin_Serve = models.IntegerField('Began Serving in', blank=True,
null=True)
End_Serve = models.IntegerField('Term Limited in', blank=True,
null=True)
MugShot = models.ImageField('Mug Shot Upload', help_text="images
are to be no larger that 150x200", storage=s3_storage,
upload_to='newsok/images/Government/images', height_field=None,
width_field=None, max_length=300, blank=True)
Committees = models.ManyToManyField('Committees', blank=True)
Approp_Committee = models.ManyToManyField('Approp_Committees',
blank=True)

Here are  my (still in progress, just testing things) form and views:



Button Check





def search(request):
error = False
if 'q' in request.GET:
q = request.GET['q']
party = request.GET['party']
if not q:
error = True
else:
reps =
Rep.objects.filter(Last_Name__icontains=q).filter(Party__icontains=party)
return render_to_response('Government/
search_results.html',
{'reps': reps, 'query': q})
return render_to_response('Government/search.html', {'error':
error})


What I am looking to do is create a form that has a general search
field that queries against the last and first names and then a series
of checkboxes and radio buttons (some can have multiple selections and
some can't) to filter the search based on type of representative,
district, city. etc.

I'm throwing this out as I battle through the forms processing part of
the Django book.

Thanks,
Nick

update a record without typing too much

[Phlip]

Djangoids:

Consider this pattern:

product.brand = brand
product.in_stock = True
product.save()

Because business-layer code does that all the time, can we DRY the
code up a little?

def up(model, **kw):
for key, value in kw.iteritems():
model.__dict__[key] = value

model.save()

That provides this:

   up(product, brand=brand, in_stock=True)

It indeed looks kewt, but it does not always work. If, for
example, .brand is a model object, then it ain't in the __dict__.

So is there some more clever way to do this? (or does Django already
have it?) hopefully some way that bypasses "eval()", and other tawdry
assaults on an object's private data?

what's the right way to extend an admin view with AJAX?

[snfctech]

(Disclamor: I am new to Python/Django.  Used to PHP/MVC ways of doing
things.)

I want to customize the admin view, because it already does >50% of
what I want for my application.

So, do I...

1. Alter the HTML sent to the template?

One of the first things I want to do is add an AJAX onclick record
detail display below the built-in change_list view.  So, I started by
thinking I need to add an onclick attribute or at least a  id to
the HTML that is rendered for the result_list block in the change_list
template.  This got me sniffing around django.contrib.admin.views.main
and other files and I soon felt like I was barking up the wrong tree.

2. Traverse the DOM on domready?

Then SmileyChris on #django suggested I add JS to traverse the DOM in
order to add my onclick attribute.  So I thought, okay, now I need to
learn the right way to write javascript for Django.  So I entered the
keyword "javascript" in the Django documentation search field, and the
results were not very satisfying.  Then I checked djangobook.com and
found a tiny section called "Custom JavaScript" in chapter 17.  I
thought, "great, I'll just window.addEvent('domready', function()
{ var changelist = document.getElementById('changelist')}); and go
from there."  But, no dice.  No 'changelist' node on domready.  I
don't get it.

So I spent the rest of the day googling and banging my head trying to
figure out how Django deals with Javascript.  The best I found were
some links to random blogs like:
http://lethain.com/entry/2008/sep/21/intro-to-unintrusive-javascript-with-django/.
But I kept searching because I thought learning how to work with
javascript/AJAX in Django must certainly be in the core documentation
somewhere, not in a random blog.  Am I missing something?

So, is the right way to extend and admin view with AJAX one of the
above methods I mentioned?

Is the authoritative Django documentation for how to work with
javascript/AJAX a blog like 
http://lethain.com/entry/2008/sep/21/intro-to-unintrusive-javascript-with-django/?

Am I already going down the wrong path because, even though the admin
code does >50% of what I want my app to do, I should not be
customizing the admin code to build my app.

Thanks in advance for any tips.

session key

[Sumanth]

Hi ,

I was trying to access the session key using request.session object in
django.  To do this we can use
request.session._session_key or request.session.session_key out of
this which is the right one to use ?


The Problem:

When you open browser for first time on web server the
request.session._session_key returns None object . What could be the
reason for this ?  Using request.session.session_key eliminates this
error . But would like to know why _session_key returns None for first
time .

I am using Djang0 1.1 and python 2.4.3

Thanks in advance
Sumanth

You will need to render it:

from django.template import RequestContext, Template
zone_text = '...'
rendered_zone_text =
Template(zone_text).render(RequestContext(request, { 'foo': 'bar' })

Storing Template Vars in Database and rendering

[HumanSimulator]

I apologize if this has been discussed before but I did search and
wasn't able to find what I'm looking for.

Anyways, I'm currently writing a very simplistic text adventure style
game in Django and what I'm looking for is to store a template var in
the database and then render it.

Like say I have

zone_text = "A shadowy figure comes up to you and says 'Hey
{{ character.name }} I've been waiting for you"

If character.name is passed in through the context as "Hernan" I would
obviously want it to show up as Hey Hernan I've been waiting for you.
Instead it leaves it unevaluated though.

Is there already a way either in Django, or that someone has already
coded that will re-parse the text and put out the correct sentence? I
don't want to re-invent the wheel if it's already been done.

Thank you for your help.

DjangoUnicodeDecodeError sqlserver latin-1

[PyMan]

Hi guys I'm having a problem with encoding (the bad beast :D ).

I'm using django 1.1.1, sqlserver 2005 with charset latin1,
sql_server.pyodbc as DATABASE_ENGINE

Here's my model-like:

class MgArtbase(models.Model):
  cod_art = models.TextField(primary_key=True)
  des_articolo = models.TextField()

  class Meta:
managed = False
db_table = u'MG_ARTBASE'

The record I read and immediatly save has a '\xe0' (that is a right-
coded "à" in latin1) in "des_articolo" field and this causes the error
you can see in the following traceback.

item = MgArtbase.objects.get(cod_art = 'xxx')
item.save() #error

As you can see the error happens in the function "force_unicode"
because it's trying to handle the string in utf-8 (by default, see the
function). If I change that default "utf-8" in "latin1" things go
right. That means that if the caller gave "latin1" (taken by any
setting) as encoding parameter things would be ok, but so it isnt. Of
course I don't want to change django-code, but how can I solve the
problem? am I mistaking anything?
I don't think it's a problem of data since db is latin-1 and the
string is right encoded.

Please help.

Thank you.

Re: form.has_changed always true?

[Jirka Vejrazka]

Hi,

  if I digress from the has_changed() problem, you mentioned you
wanted to send email after a user profile has changed. Assuming that
the profile is a model in the database, you might consider tying your
logic to the model rather than the form.

  The post_save signal tied to the profile-related model might just do
the trick for you.

  Cheers

present FileField in a form outside the admin

[kirian]

Hi,

I want to present a model.FileField outside the admin in a form. It
should behave like the nicely automatically created FileFields in the
admin.

So set a  with the actual value and present a fileselect  button.

If a output the form as a table form.as_table i just get the
fileselect button.

Anybody an idea how this works?

Re: Thread safe language switching?

[Jarek Zgoda]

Wiadomość napisana w dniu 2010-02-16, o godz. 22:12, przez Plovarna:

I just developing my first aplication with internationalization. I  
need to get all verbose_name values of the model for each language  
defined in settings.LANGUAGES. I do it by this code defined inside  
model method :


   current_lang = get_language()
   names = {}
   for lang in settings.LANGUAGES:
   activate(lang[0])
   class_name = unicode(self.__class__._meta.verbose_name)
   names.append(class_name)
   deactivate()
   activate(current_lang)

My question is: Is this approach thread safe? Is there any other way  
how to get verbose_name of the model for each defined language?



From the code it looks like this is thread safe, thread-local seems  
to be used to store the translation catalog.

These are the patterns, but not the full url definitions. Mine looks
like:


url(r"albums/create/$",
views.album_edit,
name="album_create"
),

url(r"albums/(?P[0-9]+)/$",
views.album_details,
name="album_details"
),

url(r"albums/(?P[0-9]+)/edit/$",
views.album_edit,
name="album_edit"
),


In views, you'll have:

def album_details(request, album_id):
   # code here

def album_edit(request, album_id=None):
   # code here

With this, I can call reverse with the url name appropriate kwargs:

# url displaying album n°33 details:
reverse('album_details', kwargs={'album_id':33})

# url for editing album n°42:
reverse('album_edit',  kwargs={'album_id':33})

# url for creating a new album:
reverse('album_create')

Then it's just a matter of passing the url to HttpResponseRedirect.

Model.save only do what the name imply : save the instance state (=>
instance attributes values) to the database. It doesn't set the
instance attributes. And if you call the superclass save() method
before doing the test, then the test is useless - the object is
already saved.

Indeed. Note that the problem at least partly due to the relational
model itself, and there's no easy, obvious solution.

If you only have 2 Node subclasses then there's a very simple Q
solution:

class Node(models.Model):
   # other code here
   def downcast(self):
   try:
   return self.group
   except Group.DoesNotExist:
   return self.item


This somehow breaks encapsulation since the base class should not have
knowledge of its subclasses, but in the OP example it should not be a
major problem. And it's indeed not totally transparent. There are
other, more involved solutions - some of them including the
ContentType framework and some trickery with managers and querysets -
but most of them partly break with latest version of the ORM (much to
my regret). As I said, SQL is pretty lacking when it comes to
heterogenous hierarchies.

Anyway: the example I gave was not supposed to be a full working
solution - just a possible starting point.

test_cookie_worked() fails although cookie is set

[Timothy Kinney]

Following: http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter14/

I used the request.session.set_test_cookie() method when I pass the
login form. I then use the request.session.test_cookie_worked() method
to see if the cookie was set.

My view is setup to tell me when the test_cookie_worked() method
fails, and it always shows that it fails. However, if I go into
Firefox and search for the cookie it is there.

What's going on?

** views.py **

def login_view(request, user=None):
if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted...
if request.session.test_cookie_worked():
request.session.delete_test_cookie()

form = LoginForm(request.POST) # A form bound to the POST
data
if form.is_valid():
username = form.cleaned_data['username']
password = form.cleaned_data['password']

user = authenticate(username=username,
password=password)

if user is not None:
if user.is_active:
login(request, user)
u =
User.objects.get(username__exact=request.POST['username'])
request.session['user'] = u.username
return HttpResponseRedirectView("logged in")

else:
return HttpResponse("Your account is
inactive.")

elif user is None:
return render_to_response('login.html',
  {'error_message': 'You failed to
authenticate.'})
else:
return render_to_response('login.html', {'form': form,
'error_message': 'Invalid form. Did you leave one
of the fields blank?'})
else:
   return HttpResponse("Cookies are required to login.")
else:
form = LoginForm() # An unbound form
request.session.set_test_cookie()
return render_to_response('login.html', {'form': form,
'error_message': 'Login please'})
